SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Madden School of Business at Le Moyne College has announced that well-known pollster John Zogby will become director of the Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Creativity, effective March 15.
Zogby is an “internationally respected pollster, opinion leader and best-selling author,” Le Moyne said in a news release posted March 1 on the school’s website.
As director of the Keenan Center, Zogby will help develop a plan for entrepreneurial leadership, education, opportunity and training to make it a “driving force” for economic development in the upstate New York small-business community, Le Moyne said.
“This role is a perfect match between my alma mater and my skills in the world of entrepreneurialism,” Zogby said in the release. “I have started a successful business and am now starting a new one with my sons, so I will be an entrepreneurial practitioner while I am directing and encouraging others. There’s no better place to do this than where my education began.”
Zogby is a 1970 graduate of Le Moyne College.
For three decades, the Zogby companies have produced polls for numerous media organizations and other clients. Zogby was also an “early pioneer” in the practice of online polling, according to Le Moyne.
The Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship is one of three centers within the school. Besides Keenan, the Madden School also houses the Center for Reflective Leadership and Business Ethics and the Center for Global Engagement and Impact, according to its website.
